Anteater is a common name for the four mammal species who are known for eating ants and termites. Anteaters live primarily in Central and South America. They enjoy tropical forests and grassland ecosystems. The four main types are different sizes. The silky anteater is the size of a squirrel and the giant anteater can reach 7 feet (2.1 meters) long (measuring from the tip of its nose to the end of its tail).

According to National Geographic, anteaters will eat around 35,000 ants and termites whole everyday. About.com states that they also eat other grubs and insects occasionally as well. Each anteater species has its own insect preference.

My family spent time at Hollywild! It is a great to visit in the Greenville area if you enjoy animals. They have a lot of different animals, even a petting zoo with farm animals. It is a fun to go with your family.

Mike, Ashley, and Bradley gave my sister and I Insta-Snow Powder for our birthday! It is AMAZING! My Mom, sister, and I played with it for hours. It was cool to play with snow inside. It was easy to make, you just add water.
